Wild garlic pesto

Ingredients

Freshly picked wild garlic

Nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts, cashew, according to your preference)

Olive oil (or linseed oil, hazelnut oil, etc.)

Salt

Chilli

Lemon

Preparation

Rinse wild garlic in a strainer under a stream of cold water, thoroughly. No heat or alcohol is applied to the herb when making pesto, so make sure to wash it properly.

Shake water off of washed garlic and let dry for a while. Put wild garlic in a tall container where you will blend it with a hand blender. If you have a regular blender, fill it with wild garlic leaves.
